Fred...
tomorrow it's going to be five months since i saw you, and it hurts to know that it's still going to be much longer than that. I look through pictures, watch movies and notice how happy the family was, i dont think things will ever be the way they used to. Will we ever, as a family, be able to smile again? No other celebration will ever feel the same, at all the family parties your presence was truly a blessing. especially that dance... who dances like that? who walks to the dance floor clapping like that? i dont think we knew than but you were an angel amongst us the whole time... a very appreciative, caring, and loving person. i dont think you wanted anyone to think of you as mister nice guy, but deep down inside you were. i remember in 2002, i had a shirt that my friend made, and you liked it your like its sooo niceee. so for your birthday i was like let me just get one made for him. i told my friend and on it, it had said "PACHA" and on the front it had something nice (short-term memory)... i came to ur house and was like hey fred i have a present, it was NOTHING at all. but you LOVED it, you were like this is the best present i ever got. im thinking calm down its just a shirt, i thought he was saying that just as a thanks and to make me feel good, so i was like im sure he'll probably like lose it or u know use it as a "safii" for his table. Sooo a couple months later we went to his house again, and he wasnt there, I didnt even remember the shirt, but i dont remember who i was with needed to get something out of his room, they opened the door and the shirt was there.. he had it hanging on his wall. I was shocked , it was JUST A SHIRT. but it meant a lot, and shows a lot about his character and that biiiig heart of his. and it sucks that at the time we didnt realize it. no one could ever take his place.
He truly was an amazing person, and I'm proud to say he was MY uncle...
I love you and misss you soooo much Fred... Can't wait to see you again.. <3
